    The Lifans are probably the best bang for your buck on the market. I have several buddies that run them in their pitbikes/ATC70's/ They love them. The electric start can be accomplished, but you have to mount the CDI, Starter Relay, Battery, etc. I have an electric start 110 in my 70 before I sold it. Great boost in power!

    You should be able to run a Honda ATC110 exhaust I believe.

    You can make a battery box to fit inside the frame.

    You will need to use a pitbike exhaust orthe Cobra under exahust. Asfor the battery. youmake up a mount on the skid plate, you have to remove the cross member inside the frame.

    Blue27 that is a nice looking setup for sure! Thanks for the pics! Will a crf 50 exhaust work ok? I don't want to have to cut away any of the fender plastic. What amp battery do I need? Thanks again!!
